From Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.

Roseanne Barr, one of TV's biggest stars is no stranger to controversy, but a series of bizarre late night tweets has the ABC star apologizing Tuesday morning after a rant that many are calling racist.

It began late Monday night when Barr responded to a comment about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett bysending out a tweet that read: "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj" with the initials "VJ" referring to Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett.

Barr later deleted the tweet and apologized, saying that her joke was in "bad taste."

"I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste."

Barr also announced that she was leaving Twitter following her comments.

I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.

Barr is well-known for tweeting pro-Trump messages, conspiracy theories and other controversial topics. Over the last week, the ABC star has been repeatedly attacking prominent Democrats, and defending herself against accusations of racism by insisting that "Islam is not a race."

The offending tweet was part of a series that referred to George Soros, a billionaire investor, as a Nazi and Chelsea Clinton as a Soros family member. Clinton responded to Twitter, correcting Barr on her middle name and that she was married to someone else.
